The CW cancelled Gilmore Girls in May, but the cancellation has not stopped fans from doing their best to keep the show alive outside of the small screen.
17-year-old Tally Deushane, a self-described “[Gilmore Girls] junkie,” has turned to the internet in order to search for fan-written stories based on the original series. These stories are more popularly known as “fan fiction,” new material penned by devotees of a certain show, film or book.

While the CW lineup announced today at the Television Critics Association executive session skewed heavily toward reality programming, there are still a few scripted programs planned for the network's Fall schedule. One such program is Aliens in America. No, it's no Sci Fi program, rather a half-hour sitcom about a 16-year-old Pakistani exchange student being hosted by an American family in Wisconsin.
And for fans of another, now-defunct CW show – Gilmore Girls – this new program will be bringing them a familiar face. Scott Patterson, who played diner owner Luke Danes on Gilmore Girls, will be joining Aliens in America, playing the father of the exchange student's host family.

In case you haven’t heard, Lauren Graham, one of the lead actresses of the recently cancelled series Gilmore Girls, stars in the movie Evan Almighty, which is scheduled to hit the theaters on June 22, 2007.
In an interview with Glamour magazine for their July issue, the Gilmore Girls actress has expressed her excitement in focusing her career in the big screen. “I love TV and I hope to do another show at some point, but I feel ready to take a break,” Graham has said. “Hopefully in 20 years I’ll still be working, like Diane Keaton. She once told me, ‘You’ll be OK because you can do comedy. Funny doesn’t age.’ She was an inspiration!”

Gilmore Girls has already aired its final episode on May 15, 2007, after 153 episodes and seven seasons. However, just because the show has ended on television doesn’t mean it’s over for the mother and daughter tandem. Series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is actually pondering about making the comedy-drama into a two-hour movie.
According to TV Guide, which claims to have run into Sherman-Palladino, there’s a possibility of coming up with a Gilmore Girls movie, which would attempt to give some answers to all the loose ends left after the series ended. This will also give closure on the lives of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.

Lorelai and Rory head to the Dragonfly, because Lorelai claims Christiane Amanpour is guest-starring as herself. I mean, staying at the inn. Michel confirms this, saying he didn’t tell Lorelai because of her past history embarrassing celebrities. Lorelai introduces herself and Rory, and Christiane Amanpour gives Rory her card and tells her to “send some stuff” and keep in touch.
Later, Lorelai reads about.com’s information about roller coasters out loud to Rory, as they are apparently planning a road trip. Rory finishes addressing eight billion resumes. Rory is sad about Logan for about five seconds. Lorelai is filled with angst over Luke, who she still thinks is no longer into her. Lorelai slips in the news about the Stars Hollow “Rory’s graduation re-enactment party” that’s planned for next week.
